Thread-topic: [802.3_DIALOG] New
'Higher Speed Ethernet Consensus' Industry Connections
activity
I agree with Pete. We have been seeing
growing interest from numerous network operators covering SP,
MSO and Data Center spaces, to have clarity on when a next
higher speed of Ethernet would be available. Concern is that
it will be available in time for their projected network
needs.
The sustained network bandwidth growth,
driven largely by the increase in users and the increase in
user consumption (such as video) is challenging network's
ability to scale. Built into this need for a speed step is
also the challenge of ensuring a cost effective solution.
At the last interim meeting a number of
interested people got together for an ad-hoc discussion around
this topic. At the close we took a straw poll to gauge
interest in starting things moving towards a next HSSG
project. Results indicated that there was strong interest in
kicking this off.
In light of this, I support the

good idea to start an activity within 802.3 aimed at gathering
consensus on a way forward towards a future CFI on this topic.

Announcement, the Ethernet Bandwidth Assessment Ad Hoc will be
seeking Working Group approval of its report. In addition, I
will be working with Pete Anslow, Mark Nowell, Scott Kipp, and
Peter Stassar to put on a tutorial at the July Plenary <See

> At the IEEE 802.3 May Interim I spoke
at most of the Task Force and Study Group meetings (all but
MIBs and Maintenance) regarding the future after the IEEE
802.3 BWA. I have been working with a group of approximately
60 individuals on a new 'Higher Speed Ethernet' Industry
Connections activity. The proposed scope of the activity
would be to focus on building consensus related to the next
speed of Ethernet for wireline applications, which will be
used for the evaluation and possible development of a
Call-For-Interest for the next Higher Speed Study Group.
Please note that unlike the prior BWA activity, the output of
this effort would be the historical records, i.e. meeting
notes & presentations, of the meetings held by this
Industry Connections activity.

Industry Connections activity Initiation Document (ICAID) was
submitted to the Industry Connections Committee (ICCom) for
conditional approval, conditional on IEEE 802 EC endorsement
in July, at its June 8th meeting. However, ICCom postponed
recommending it approval until it has been endorsed by IEEE
802 EC (the sponsoring group), and it was indicated that ICCom
will schedule a teleconference the Monday after the plenary,
which could then be submitted for a 10 day standards board
email ballot.
